Israel is afraid of someone with as big a stick as they have. The shoe don't fit so well on the other foot, does it? The policy of the United States has always been that nukes keep the peace, by acting as a deterrent. Let's step up to the plate. It's put up or shut up time for Uncle Sam. We are in NO position to demand anything from Iran. x
1980's- Cia sends hundreds of millions of dollars of stinger missles into afghanistan so the mujahadines can defeat the ruskies... That is how al quida got its start and they are still using our ammo against us 1980's-USA and S Africa secretly provide Israel with info and materials so they now have 175 hydrogen bombs 1990's- USA sends more millions of weapons to Iraq Saddam Hussein so he can fight it out with the Iranians. 1980's USA builds 2 huge air force bases in Saudi Arabia knowing full well Muslims will never allow infidels to build military bases in Arabia. 1990- USA tells Saddam that we will look the other way if he invades Kuwait...It was a trap. Now if you were in Iran and saw your worst enemy across the border with 175 hydrogen bombs provided to them by the USA wouldn't you want to get a few to defend yourself? If your neighbor was shooting at your kids with a shotgun and you only had a BB gun to defend them what would you do? If we really want to stop the coming war in the Middle East we should take all the nuclear weapons out of Israel and make it a nuclear free zone as the Arabs have been asking for so long. Other than that this whole mess is of our own creation,
2008 Bush promises Saudis enriched uranium but decries Iran's proposed goal of nuclear plants for infrastructure. http://www.democracynow.org/2008/5/20/as_us_threatens_iran_over_enriching
I know what i'd do if my neighbor had nuclear weapons - I'd sponsor terrorist movements that were killing his children and threaten to wipe him off the planet. I'd hang giant posters from government buildings that said "Israel must burn" and I'd made sure to leads chants of "death to Israel" at public gatherings. I'd also hold a conference to deny the holocaust that killed millions of jews. You know, to promote peace, which is all i'd really want, and besides everything is America's fault.
Ladies and gentlemen please excuse people like 'xexon',I don't think he or they can help themselves.Google the name "xexon" and you'll see he posts this rubbish in other forums,as if anyone with any intelligence or common sense give a shit about his or a few other ignorant people like him and their deluded opinions.
Apples and Oranges, but you already knew that tho. The Saudis aren't trying to Enrich Uranium, Iran is. Saudis aren't trying to master the nuclear fuel cycle, Iran is. Saudis haven't been sanctioned by the U.N. for IAEA violations, Iran is on its third round of sanctions. Saudis want nuclear power, So does Iran. Saudis have been promised Enriched Uranium."which will have to follow IAEA guidelines" Iran has been promised Enriched Uranium,not only from the USA but Russia and France too. Iran is ranked#3 in the world in Gas Flaring. They "flare" 13.3 billion cubic meters annually. If i were worried about improving infrastructure, i would have to give this a second look.
What I say in other forums is not the subject matter here. I stand by every word of what I write. Both here and elsewhere. If you disagree with what I say, prove me wrong. x
Do these sound like the activites of a country that is building a legitimate nuclear power production program? Sounds like the activities of a country with enough sense to prepare to defend itself from child-murdering piece of shit Republicans. And notice the Supreme Court ruling, just in time? The one that says that if someone like George W. Bush sends shrapnel flying up some little Iranian girl's ass, he can't be executed for it if convicted of child rape? Yes, I know, he won't be charged with child rape for sending shrapnel up a hundred thousand foreign asses. God Bless America. No other ancient murderous beast could be that fucking evil.
And notice, the people who seemed to be outraged by the ruling the most, can't put a paragraph together without at least 2 (stick something up somebody's ass) comments.
Wow. The Saudi Cheerleader Party, the party that literally shoves things up children's asses complains about my language? How about just not shoving things up little kids asses so we wouldn't have to point out what you do to little kids?
I don't have a problem with your (language). I made a personal observation, and as usual, i was right. As far as your personal attacks, they do more damage to you than me. Right, Balbus?
What will we do if the Saudis build bombs, give them free reign like we just have North Korea, because it suits the neo-con agenda at the time. And they don't even have build the bombs we'll probablly provide them, like we have to Israel. Let's remember the Iran has signed the non-proliferation treaty they have allowed inspectors in, they are not a rogue state. Israel has never signed a non-proliferation treaty. I am all for striking them (Isreal) if they seek to expand the unrest in this area. I haven't elected their government or paid for their secret service, they should not be guiding our actions. If they bomb without some really impelling reason, then I need to question why my government has given them the means to wreak havoc on the rest of the world, and in my eyes they are terrorists! They are worse than terrorist they are roques that feel above the law.
Iran could withdraw. Then all these issues about whether or not it is fully complying with the IAEA would become essentially moot. They'd be in the same league as Israel, Pakistan, India, and North Korea. .
Withdraw from the non-proliferation treaty, wouldn't we then see them as really bad guys. We tend to forget our supposed friends have withdrawn. I think Iran is playing it smarter, smarter than the US at this moment.
Who else could put that in one line like you just did, gawd. You wouldn't see them as bad guys if they dropped a bomb on your head.
Was I supposed to ignore the fact that Bush just promised to lift sanctions on North Korea just weeks after he promised to provide enriched uranium to the Saudis? I fear Israel and Pakistan more than I do Iran.
You know what they say, if you're good at something, do alot of it . So, you're against lifting sanctions on NK? Also, you're against SA having nuclear power? Yea, you've made that clear more than once atleast you admit you have some fear of Iran, just not enough to nuke them,yet.
I've never seen any real proof that Iran is making a nuke, have you. Perhaps you could provide proof. This is the last I heard: http://blogs.abcnews.com/politicalradar/2007/12/nie-report-iran.html Before I believe another porta potty report like Collin Powell gave, you'll have to have your administration come clean and provide direct evidence.
